1* The film is filled with the kind of banter among professionals/aficionados and among romantic couples that would make Creator/HowardHawks proud. One golden moment is when Mickey and Johnny are walking down the street, and Johnny notes that Gus once told him that he had a daughter who was "smarter than the both of us". {{Beat}}. ''So'', Johnny explains, when he first met Mickey, he automatically assumed she was...another daughter Gus hadn't mentioned. Mickey smacks his arm.
2** Johnny stripping down to his skivvies in front of Mickey...seemingly for no reason--until he jumps into the river.
3*** A subtle part of the sequence is Mickey ''not'' taking her shirt off when she undresses. It's a subtle punch line to Johnny not obeying her "no peaking" command (and "excuse" that he's looking at the car).
4* When Johnny and Mickey pull Gus from his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of the punk who harassed Mickey...Johnny "explains" that Gus is his father and Mickey's his sister. And then he gives Mickey a smooch.
